A:  If you want your seedlings to be in the best shape, I would get a full-spectrum grow light if you can afford it.

A:  It depends on how much light you are getting through the south window, if it's bright and sunny the seedlings should do fine. If regular house plants are just okay there then seedlings will struggle and be really leggy. I have south windows and it's not enough light by far and so I use grow lights.

A:  It depends how much light that comes in that window I use a regular led light bulb if you dont have a T5 light.

A:  Yes it can

A:  Yes. It's sealed. We've dribbled water all over them every time we check on the seedlings and no problems at all.

A:  I certainly wouldn't submerse it but I've dribbled some water on it and had no problems and of course you can wipe it down with a damp cloth.

A:  Thank you for your question and yes it can get wet however just to be safe would not recommend letting water sit on it for long periods of time or for it to become immersed in water. Our best to you this season!
